In electronics manufacturing, small SMT parts are typically loaded onto reels that hold thousands of parts. If you want to take two smaller partial reels of common parts and splice them together into a single reel of parts, you can use the Splice UID function.
Log into the FactoryLogix website and select Logistics.
Select Splice UID on the left side of the window.
Scan the barcode or enter the Leading UID (the reel you will splice/attach to theTrailing UID), then select the Submit

Scan the barcode or enter the Trailing UID in the Trailing UID field—this is the reel you will splice/attach to the Leading UID, then select the Submit
